Who's broke?

It's back up but I have nothing to say

Mine started, but the 2nd one is still broke and in the garage. What would you say the average time to get a Focus back on the road is?


Thanks for getting her back up.

Ditto

You all have no excuse. I just had everything forward of the b pillars out of my car a few days ago and it drives like a champ today

I've been broke for years.


Oh, wait, you mean broken cars. Not me mine runs perfectly.

how dose a car break? what is this down time of wich you speak? knocking vig-er-uslly on wood

Face it, your car hates you.
I'm doing 200whp N/A and daily shifts @8K on a 176,000 stock bottom end. Car's never been down longer than my lazy ass took to fix it. Nothing major's ever broke.

Jinx!

200hp NA? at the crank? or wheels. I am very interested in this. Do u have an svt at least? Am curious how u make that kinda power.? independent throttle bodies?

To the wheel/s.
I'm not actually 200 that I can prove yet. 185-190 I can though. Should be able to hit 200 if I add more timing, which I have no reason to do right now.
Compression, porting and E-85 do wonders on a hacked SVT ... SVT head, standard block and no VCT.

im impressed . but ive always had a slight man crush for you any way . . . i likes ehm all smarts an what noughts

typically if you can prove a number, it's a flat number because you've ran it on a dyno of some sort.
